The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.

Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).

SHIRMEEN LAKHANI, D.P.M. is a Podiatrist provider practicing in LAKE JACKSON, Texas, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: D.P.M.. NPI: 1073772489.

SHIRMEEN LAKHANI, D.P.M. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Podiatrist provider holding D.P.M. credentials at 121 HIGHWAY 332 W STE G, LAKE JACKSON, TX, 77566, with a listed phone of (979) 297-8500. NPI 1073772489 was issued on 06/02/2008.

Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
